Chapter Summaries

Haidisi crossed the White Mist Zone on Nether Mountain while surviving lightning strikes and attacks from tiny green snakes. After reaching the Grey Mist Zone, she learned that its illusions could trap people with weak souls forever, leaving her wary of what lay ahead.

• Haidisi struggled to find her direction in the White Mist Zone and repeatedly tried different paths until she made it through.
• Haidisi avoided random lightning strikes and survived two attacks by tiny green snakes thanks to her Ocean Surge Crystal Armor.
• Haidisi found the corpse of an old man in green armor and recognized the tiny hole in his forehead as a green snake’s attack.
• Haidisi entered the Grey Mist Zone and heard fighting from several directions, so she waited instead of rushing toward it.
• Haidisi questioned a defeated green-haired young man, who warned her that the grey mist trapped people in endless illusions if their souls were not strong enough.

Haidisi pressed into the Grey Mist Zone despite warnings, killed an illusion-trapped Highgod, and then faced approaching enemies as she searched Nether Mountain for the Nether Fruit. Meanwhile, Rog’s Lightning Law cultivation neared its final breakthrough, and he hinted to Ninisha that he would reach a major milestone within a few hundred years.

• A green-haired young man warned Haidisi that the Grey Mist Zone held many trapped Highgods with powerful material attacks, but she chose to continue despite the danger.

After centuries of preparation, Rog broke through on Nether Mountain and became a Paragon High-God, gaining Willpower that transformed all his souls and let him control matter and space. The Sovereign of the Netherworld witnessed his breakthrough and marveled at how quickly he had advanced.

• After repairing the Ice Crystal Crown, Rog spent centuries cultivating before reaching the final threshold in the Laws of Lightning on Nether Mountain.

• The Sovereign of the Netherworld watched Rog’s breakthrough and was astonished that he had risen from Midgod to Paragon in less than a hundred thousand years.

Rog entered the Grey Mist Zone to find Haidisi and discovered that the Sovereign of Death had caused a Nether Fruit to appear, turning Nether Mountain far more dangerous. As the Sovereign watched to see whether Rog would pursue the fruit, Haidisi stumbled upon the Nether Fruit Tree, unaware that it was a Life Sovereign.

• Rog sensed that Haidisi was in the Grey Mist Zone and sped toward her through Nether Mountain.
• The Sovereign of Death mistook Rog's approach for interest in the Nether Fruit and decided to make one appear.

• Rog realized the Nether Fruit had appeared and suspected that the Sovereign of Death had released it because of him.
• Haidisi emerged from the grey mist and found the Nether Fruit Tree, not knowing it was a Life Sovereign.

Haidisi, Bo Yin'er, Belinda, and other Highgods found the Nether Fruit, but the tree and its guardian prevented them from reaching it. The giant green snake warned that the fruit was meant for a powerful man who was on his way, leaving the gathered experts stunned by the threat.

• Haidisi found the Nether Fruit, while Bo Yin'er and Belinda arrived and competed with her for it.

• A giant green snake emerged from the tree and told the remaining experts that they would have no chance against the man coming for the fruit.
• The giant green snake revealed that the approaching man was a Paragon High-God whom even a Sovereign regarded with respect.

• Bo Yin'er and Belinda urged the experts to attack the giant green snake together and seize the Nether Fruit before its promised arrival.
• Belinda wounded the giant green snake with her sword, but its black mist weakened her soul.
• The red-browed middle-aged man charged toward the Nether Fruit, but the tree bound him and its little snakes killed him.
• The experts lost hope when they saw the red-browed man die, then a purple-robed young man appeared with a flash of electricity.
• Haidisi recognized the newcomer as Rog, and the other experts realized he was the man they had been warned about.

Rog refused the Nether Fruit for himself and helped Haidisi obtain it, revealing his strength and confirmed status as a Paragon High-God before the Sovereign of Death. The Sovereign allowed Haidisi to keep the fruit and sent Rog and Haidisi up Nether Mountain.

• The Sovereign of Death sent the Nether Fruit toward Bo Yin'er, but Rog immobilized him and the fruit with his Thunder World.

• The giant green snake guided Rog and Haidisi into the purple mist while the remaining spectators discussed the Sovereign and Rog's strength.

Rog and Haidisi met the Sovereign of Death, who rewarded Haidisi for obtaining the Nether Fruit and negotiated an agreement with Rog. Rog left without becoming her emissary but promised to help her when needed in exchange for Sovereign’s Might.

• The green-robed Snake Spirit led Rog and Haidisi through the purple mist to the Sovereign of Death’s palace.
• The Sovereign of Death offered Haidisi an emissary position and reminded her to have her Lightning Divine Clone eat the Nether Fruit.
• Haidisi requested a Material Defense Sovereign Artifact and received Purple Wisteria Armor and a bottle of Sovereign’s Might.
• The Sovereign of Death questioned whether Rog’s offer to act once fairly compensated her for what she had given up.
• Rog offered to help the Sovereign of Death several times with matters she could not handle personally, and she accepted the agreement and gave him Sovereign’s Might.

The Sovereign of Death rewarded Rog with Sovereign's Might and a Sovereign Medallion, then allowed him and Haidisi to leave. At the Nether Tavern, Haidisi ate the Nether Fruit and advanced from Midgod to the Asura level in the Laws of Lightning.

• The Sovereign of Death gave Rog Sovereign's Might and a Sovereign Medallion, and Rog and Haidisi thanked her before leaving Nether Mountain.

After reaching Paragon strength, Rog returned to the Infernal Realm and prepared to study Divine Beast Innate Divine Abilities. He then set out for the Celestial Realm to kill Fulaite, who had fled there to escape him.

• Rog sent his Lightning Divine Clone back to the Infernal Realm to resume studying Divine Beast Innate Divine Abilities.
• Rog used the Sovereign Medallion to teleport from the Blood Peak Continent back to the Netherworld, making repeated trips until he reached the Zijing Continent.
• Ninisha recognized that Rog had become a Paragon, but declined his offer to spar because Paragons were nearly equal in strength.
• Rog decided to pursue Fulaite, who had moved to the Celestial Realm and taken shelter among Theodore's faction.
• Rog sent his Lightning Divine Clone to the Celestial Realm, intending to kill Fulaite.

Rog traveled to the Celestial Realm and learned about Saimengte, a powerful Sun-Illuminating Black Bird who had taken in Fulaite. Rog considered targeting Saimengte for his Divine Beast Essence Blood, but waited for a pretext to act.

• Fulaite told Saimengte he still feared Rog, and Saimengte reassured him that Rog was not a Paragon.
• Rog arrived at Foluoyin Island through a teleportation formation and asked which way the Saint Cruz Archipelago lay.
• The chapter described the Celestial Realm’s continents and seas, and detailed the abilities and strength of the Sun-Illuminating Black Bird and Silver Moon Heavenly Wolf clans.
• Rog considered killing Saimengte to obtain his Divine Beast Essence Blood, but knew he needed a reason because Saimengte was a favored Sovereign’s Emissary.
• Rog decided that if Saimengte tried to protect Fulaite, it would give him the excuse he needed to attack.

Rog arrived at the Saint Cruz Archipelago to confront Fulaite, who Saimengte had sheltered despite knowing of their enmity. After demonstrating his overwhelming power, Rog publicly challenged Saimengte over protecting Fulaite.

• A sweeping divine sense alarmed the Highgods across the Saint Cruz Archipelago, but Cruz and Saimengte could not locate its source even with Sovereign's Might.
• Rog found Fulaite in the Cruz Clan's core compound and flew toward the estate, where Cruz recognized him and Fulaite turned deathly pale.
• Rog hovered above the Cruz Clan estate, and his Soul Attack sent more than a thousand Island Guards crashing from the sky.
• Cruz asked Rog why he had come, and Rog told him to ask Saimengte, accusing him of sheltering Fulaite despite knowing they were enemies.

Rog confronted Saimengte and Fulaite in the sky above the Saint Cruz Archipelago after the Cruz Clan patriarch tried to defuse the conflict. Saimengte chose to protect Fulaite, but Rog's soul attack overwhelmed his defenses and threatened his Soul Ocean.

• Cruz tried to blame Fulaite and offered to make Saimengte apologize to Rog, but Saimengte flew out and took responsibility for the matter himself.
• Saimengte declared that his actions had nothing to do with the Cruz Clan, and Cruz withdrew to the clan's residence.
• Fulaite joined Saimengte in the air, regretting that he had sent Li Wei and Anna after Rog and blaming the dead Tedun for misleading him.
• Rog told Saimengte that he and Fulaite would die together, then launched a soul lightning serpent at him with a glance.
• Saimengte's Soul Defense Divine Artifact failed to stop the serpent, which continued toward the golden innate light protecting his Soul Ocean.

Rog killed Saimengte and Fulaite after defeating them effortlessly, then moved to claim Saimengte’s Divine Beast corpse. The Fate Sovereign appeared, recognized Rog as a Paragon, accepted that Saimengte had deserved his death, and returned the corpse to the Cruz Clan.

• Rog broke through Saimengte’s soul defenses, killed him, and took a strange golden crown from his soul sea.
• Rog killed Fulaite with a glance and drew Saimengte’s Sun-Illuminating Black Bird body toward him for research.

• The Fate Sovereign praised Rog for reaching the Paragon realm and declared that Saimengte had brought his death upon himself.
• The Fate Sovereign returned Saimengte’s corpse to the Cruz Clan, and Rog agreed to let the matter rest.

After the Sovereign confirmed Rog was a Paragon and departed, Rog left the Saint Cruz Archipelago as news of his victory over Saimengte spread across the Divine Planes. He examined the Sun Crown, then traveled to the Sea of Aurora to watch the Seven-Colored Aurora before seeking out Magnus.

• The Sovereign left without holding Rog accountable, and Rog departed the Saint Cruz Archipelago while the Cruz Clan accepted that they could not challenge him.
• Witnesses spread the Floating Shadow of Rog killing Saimengte, and the Divine Planes learned that the Sovereign had confirmed Rog as a Paragon.
• Rog examined the Sun Crown but could not discover how to use it, and he decided to seek out Magnus for a spar.
• Rog went to Long Rainbow Bay to watch the Seven-Colored Aurora and waited for it to appear.

Rog mastered the fusion of three profound mysteries of the Laws of Light after studying the auroras of the Sea of Aurora. He then traveled to Lake Kavin and met Magnus, and the two went to the Blazing Sun Sea to spar.

• Rog observed the seven-colored auroras and understood how light and shadow combined in the Light and Shadow Doppelganger Technique.
• Rog spent less than three years working out the fusion of three profound mysteries, then broke through the bottleneck after another fifty years on an unnamed island.
• Rog perfectly fused the Element of Light, Light Speed, and the Light and Shadow Doppelganger Technique.
• Rog traveled to Lake Kavin to find Magnus and proposed a match.
• Magnus agreed to fight over the sea, and he and Rog flew to a broad area deep in the Blazing Sun Sea.

Rog and Magnus fought at full strength, testing their material attacks before Rog proposed a contest of Soul Attacks. Magnus agreed, eager to see whether his strongest Soul Attack could harm Rog, a rumored Three-Element Soul Mutator.

• Rog and Magnus battled over the sea, tearing open spatial rifts and sending enormous waves across the surrounding waters.
• Rog and Magnus paused and praised each other's strength after their close-range weapon exchange ended without either gaining a clear advantage.
• Magnus explained that Paragons gained distinctive characteristics from their perfected Laws or Edicts, including Rog's penetrating Lightning attacks and the Fate Edicts' unpredictability.
• Rog recognized how the Fate Edicts' unpredictability strengthened Magnus's material attacks and movement, then suggested they compare Soul Attacks.
• Magnus agreed to use his strongest Soul Attack against Rog, confident in the technique that had unsettled most Paragons he had faced.

Rog resisted Magnus’s ultimate soul attack by using his powerful soul and lightning techniques to destroy its hidden lotus. After acknowledging each other’s strength, Magnus invited Rog to Lake Kavin, and Rog accepted so he could ask about other Paragons.

• Magnus launched his strongest soul attack at Rog, combining Sovereign’s Might with a transparent sphere concealing a deadly lotus.
• Rog’s Soul-Suppressing Celestial Crystal failed to stop most of the attack, but he used black and white lightning serpents to break down the lotus’s soul power.
• Magnus recognized that Rog’s Soul Mutation and immense soul power let him survive an attack that would trouble other Paragons.
• Rog and Magnus discussed the strengths of different laws and edicts, agreeing that none was absolutely superior.
• Magnus invited Rog to Lake Kavin, and Rog accepted, hoping to ask him about other Paragons.

Magnus told Rog about the challenges of fighting the Water Paragon Parhaus and the Wind Paragon Bayer, then invited Rog to visit him. Meanwhile, Miluo Island’s clans struggled to survive without Mosi as Rog’s ten-thousand-year ultimatum approached, while enemies they had made through years of subjugating talented people closed in.

• Magnus described how Parhaus’s Water Law could absorb attacks and restrain opponents, while Bayer’s Wind Laws made him exceptionally hard to hit or control.
• Rog invited Magnus to visit him in Tianhua Prefecture and said he would help an old friend if the request was reasonable.
• Miluo Island’s five great clans grew alarmed as the deadline in Rog’s ultimatum approached and Mosi remained absent.
• After Rog’s strength and Paragon status became known, the Bagshaw Clan’s experts feared the consequences of Mosi and Baokewei provoking him.
• Powerful people Mosi had once tried to subjugate attacked Miluo Island, and the clans barely held them off with enslaved guest elders and Sovereign’s Might.
• Rog remained focused on Mosi and planned to spare fleeing clansmen, intending to destroy only the diehards left on Miluo Island.

The Purple Blood Fiend visited Rog to seek advice on whether to focus on the Path of Destruction or the Fusion Law to reach the Asura level. Rog received him, and the chapter ended with Purple Blood asking which path would bring him to that level sooner.

• The Shadow Alliance leaders discussed whether Mosi would return to Miluo Island and lamented that they lacked the strength to destroy it.
• Purple Blood decided to visit Rog, hoping that a fellow Soul Mutant could guide him toward a breakthrough.
• Keluoyin informed Rog of Purple Blood’s arrival, and Rog invited him into the great hall.
• Purple Blood introduced himself to Rog and asked whether the Path of Destruction or the Fusion Law would help him reach the Asura level sooner.
